haustible mines of iron, vast forests of
white pine, the best building stone in
the northwest, and with the greatest

These are the magnetic forces which
bring men together in rich AMI popu-

here every intelligent man knows.
That they have lain dormant SO long

The past is behind us-the future be-

Looking to the future, is this acti
witty in real estate at Superior any
surprise? Certainly not. With its
abundant storehouse of natural re-
sources from which to draw, Superior
has also happy location. Just across
the bay from Duluth it is beautifully
located on a grand plateau which
gently slopes to the shores of the bay.
From Duluth Minnesota point reaches
out toward Superior, and from Super
Tor, Wisconsin point extends itself
toward Duluth. These natural bar

Behind these great barriers lies one
of the safest and most commodious

From Duluth, Minnesota point is laid

From Superior, Wisconsin point is laid
out and plated; and soon one great
avenue of trade will reach along these
great arms, span the narrows, and
stretch from shore to shore in fraternal
and commercial union.

EARLY NEW ENGLAND.
Social Life Among the Immediate De
scendants OF tho Puritans.


scendants OF tho Puritans.
The grade in social life, which was
largely a name, was shown most in the
Westinghouse. The seating of families
and the assigning of pews was one of
the difficult things. The minister and
boys and eolored people were assigned
the back pews or those in the gallery
This idea of .'social dignity" was
brought from the old country, but gave
way in the growing oneness of life in
America. The days of the early New
Highlander were not all dark. There
was much of the austere in them, but
there was also a grain of mrth and
cheerfulneSs. We must bear in mind
that the clergymen were the early his
torians of the country, and they put
much gloom in their WI tings. The New
England inn was place of great resort,
In the poverty OF newspapers, people
came here to gain what news there
might be. The inn-holdcr was lead
ing man in the commun ty. He got the
news from the driver and passengers of
the stage coach, and of the travellers
who CHANGED to be passing through the
town. The inn-hoider knew the public
men of the country. for they had par
taken of his sumptuous dinners and had
lodged at his inn. If the walls of these
ancient New England taverns could talk
what stories would they tell; not of the
debauches alone. in the dark and stirring
days of patriot and loyal sentiments
and deeds. whose influence went out for
the founding of the nation and the per-
petuity of the blessings of freedom. He
who strives to know of early New Eng
land, must not look alone to the learn
inc, character and influence of its min
listers, but the manners, life and int1u-
ence of the inn-holders. -Aei0 England

Duties of an interviewer,

No man is willing TO admit that he likes
being interviewed, but most people are never
theleSS pleased 10 be consulted bv the repre-
sentative of any well known newspaper. At
such times most people talk with pleasure,
gesticulating gracefully. using animated ex-
pressions and sympathetic tones. The same
people are cross next day. when what they
said appears in print without the gesture. the
mobilization the smile. tender or mirthful,
none OF which are possessions of type. and
they are apt TO call the interview untruthful,
or. at least, they declare it is not exactly what
they said. OF course not; the reporter
usually gives TO his interview dignity it does
not in fact possess. He weeds out the SUPER
fuities, clears away the verbiage, links the
logical sequence, and minds the grammar
To render the interview exactly as it was
spoken would be the most cruel exercise OF
his power. That often men go into journal
ism and stay in it and relish it after all these
rebuffs is a better sign for the future Of the
press than the utterances of prophets The
reporters are better-more able by nature and
education-to-day than they were five years
ago, and the standard is still going up. The
fascination of journalism is exerted as

PERFECTLY HORRIBLE.

The victim writhed and screamed terribly
as the work proceeded, and a gag was inserted
in his mouth 10 still his cries The people
with morbid curiosity crowded to the edge of
the hole, even to the point of interfering with
the workmen, and a squad of warriors in
armor drove them back. The men in the
hole stamped the earth hard all about the
victim until it was up to his waist. They
then got out and the filling in continued more
rapidly, and others helped in the stamping
The hole was originally SO deep that the VIC
TINS head was more than foot below the
surface. When his mouth was reached care
was taken not to fill in around him until the
rest of the hole had been leveled over. Then

After all the dirt had been thrown back
and the burial was complete the reason for
their caution became apparent A workman
came forward with long, hard wood pole
sharpened and tipped with iron at one end.
This was inserted into the ground directly
over the victims head A movable platform
was produced and men standing on it began
to pound the pole down into the ground. The
horrible object of this was TO transfix the
victim through the length of his body. The
pounding was continued with mallets until
the entire length of the pole had been driven
into the ground. Then the implements that
had been used were taken away and the

CUMBERERS OF THE GROUND.

1t is generally believed that every plant
was created for some useful purpose; still no
use has been found for one plant in hun
dred. There may be mines of wealth in many
common plants found in most parts of this
country that are now regarded as simply
"cumberers of the ground" Professor Beal,
the eminent practical botanist, has defined a
weed as "a plant out of place, or for which no
use has yet been found" He appears to be
hopeful that the time will come when a use
will be found for all our native plants, many
of which are now regarded as positively in
furious. 1t is likely that some of them need
only to be cultivated in order to develop most
valuable qualities. 1t is quite likely tha.
many plants entirely useless in one country
may become very valuable by transporting
them to another part of the world where the
soil and climate are very different
The nature of some plants has almost en-
tirely changed by removing them from Eng
land to Australia. The common water cress
Of northern Europe planted beside stream
in Australia assumes the proportions Of a
stately tree What is chiefly needed fer agri-
cultural prosperity in the southern states is a
grass suited to the peculiar soil and climate
of those parts of the country. Possibly it
might be found in some humble plant COM
mon in New Zealand or Siberia There is no
more promising field for enterprise than the
acclimation of foreign plants and the i'm
provement of native ones by careful cultiva-
ton. AT the present time much more atten-
ton is given to acclimating and improving
wild Towering plants than those that promise
TO be valuable for food. Chicago Times

days afterward she wrote me long let

her pet got along, and it was in perfect
health. There is lady in Alexandra
who has no children, but she had thirteen
ordinary cats which she prizes highly.
The cats do not have as many diseases
as some other animals-worms, mango
and distemper being the principal dis
eases incident to cat life. 1t is very
difficult to administer medicine to them,
and it has to be forced on them. They
cannot be fooled with medicine. They,
however, improve rapidly when the
medicine is given. The pet cats are so
well taken care of that outside OF getting

they need no surgical treatment 1t is
quite serious matter for cat to get

Breeding Geese.

some returns. tor they cost but little for
food. and will get most of their own liv-
ing if permitted to have their full liberty
and the run of the grass field. They
are great grazers and will eat almost as
much grass as cow. They are not
desirable where small fruits and berries
are grown. as they have weakness for
both, as we'll as for several kinds OF
vegetables, and can soon destroy more
than they are worth, while they never
do we'll in confinement. Where these
features do not stand in lhe way, breed.

fully lowering around zero, as it has been
in past winters.
1t is u mistaken idea to suppose that
young breeding geese are the best. for
the experience of many of the oldest
breeders goes TO show the contrary.
Like breeding swine, geese are the better
for breeding purposes as they grow Older,
and as long as they continue to breed,
which will be for several years, they
should be kept in the breeding flock, for
they will invariably produce stronger
and healthier birds, and it will be found
that percentage of loss from the young
goslings dying off will be very small
indeed from old birds, and considerable
from young birds. While this is true of
the geese, it is not so in regard to the
male birds--tbe gandars-for it is not
desirable to keep the same breeding ones
more than two seasons, for, while they
are not so sure after that time, they
become very irascible and are apt to
destroy many young chicks. though this
peculiarity seems to breed in most
geese.
In regard to the best varieties, we
believe farmers and others who wish q
breed for practical everyday purposes
will find the Toulouse. as well as the
Bremen or Embden, nicely suited to
their requirements, as they are hardy
and attain very heavy weights when
properly cared for and hatched early, as
they should to be profitable - Fanciers
